Biography

Games

Elio is first greeted by Professor Kukui on his computer. His mother reveals that they have moved to the warm and sunny Alola region from Kanto. She asks Meowth to wake up Sun. Meowth wakes up Sun and he heads downstairs. Professor Kukui comes and tells Elio about Alola and the Kahunas. He invites the player to come join him outside, and Sun's mother tells him that his hat and bag are in his room. When Sun gets his items, he joins Kukui outside. Kukui tells Sun about Iki Town and the Kahuna, Hala, and lets him explore. Sun soon sees a mysterious girl with a Poké Ball design bag that is shaking with something in it. Sun follows the girl. A strange creature pops out and rushes over an old bridge, but the girl is too worried to go after it. Three Spearow come and attack the Pokémon, so she tasks Elio to go after it. Elio protects the Pokemon, but the bridge breaks and Elio falls but is saved by Tapu Koko. It later gives Elio the Sparkling Stone. The girl then introduces herself as Lillie, and is the professor's assistant. She tells Elio that the Pokémon is a Cosmog and is nicknamed Nebby. Because Lillie isn't a Pokémon trainer, she asks Elio if could take her back to Iki Town. When they reach Iki Town, they are met by Hala and Kukui. Lillie tells them of what happened at the bridge, and Kukui and Hala reward Elio for his bravery his own starter Pokemon. Kukui then gives Elio the Rotom Pokedex and a Trainer Passport. Elio soon meets Hau, the grandson of Hala. Hau and Elio have a friendly battle while Lillie watches. After the battle, Elio returns home and shows his mother his brand new Pokémon. His mother thinks the Pokémon is both cute and cool. Elio, after catching more Pokémon and gaining more experience, is invited to participate in the Fighting Festival. His first opponent is Hau. After winning the battle, Elio is awarded the Z-Ring. Later, while Elio is out exploring, Lillie tells Elio about Nebby and pleads him not to tell anyone about it in order to keep its existence a secret. She then leaves.

Trivia

• In Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon, Wicke comments: "You and Hau are both trial-goers, aren't you? Are you hoping to become champions? I suppose... You must be around 11, then?" Hau's age is definitely 11 years old as that is also the age for beginning the island challenge, implying the player character to be either around Hau's age exactly or possibly even a bit older. Other player characters have appeared at initial ages of anywhere from 10 (various) - around 17.
• Elio's old home region is Kanto.
• Elio's Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon outfit is similar to Nate's as he wears shorts and leggings.
• Elio's name is derived from the Greek Titan God of the Sun, Helios.
